If you’re a fan of the John Wick, then you’ll be pleased to know that it’s the latest movie to score it’s own TV series adaptation. Starz announced on Friday at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour that it was developing The Continental, a multi-season drama series based on the film franchise starring Keanu Reeves. Reeves, according to representatives from Starz, is expected to make an appearance in the planned series but will not star.

Reeves, however, will executive produce along with Thunder Road Pictures’ Basil Iwanyk (who exec produced the franchise films) according to The Hollywood Reporter. Chris Collins will pen the script and serve as showrunner while Chad Stahelski will direct. Derek Kolstad, Collins, and David Leitch are also attached as executive producers.

The potential TV series, which is set in the John Wick universe, will center on the concept of the film franchise’s “Continental Hotel,” a headquarters-of-sorts for assassins.

Starz recently acquired Lionsgate, the studio that helmed the film franchise (which has thus far grossed nearly $300 million worldwide). The third installation will again star Reeves and is due out in 2019. Starz will house domestic TV and SVOD rights to the series, while Lionsgate will take the lead on international, domestic distribution and home entertainment rights.

“This series is truly unlike anything else on TV,” Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said. “The Continental promises to include the thunderous fight sequences and intensely staged shootouts between professional assassins and their targets that fans have come to expect in the John Wick movie franchise as well as introduce some new, darkly compelling characters who inhabit this underground world.”
